THE WILD TRUTH

3 By Carine McCandless (Harper One $27.99)

The spellbinding story of Chris McCandless, who gave away his savings, hitchhiked to Alaska, walked into the wilderness alone and starved to death in 1992, fascinated author Jon Krakauer enough to write the book "Into the Wild," which became an international best-seller. But the real story of Chris' life and his journey has not yet been told. The missing pieces are finally revealed in "The Wild Truth," written by Chris' beloved sister. In the many years since the tragedy of Chris' death, Carine has searched for some kind of redemption. In this touching and personal memoir, she reveals how she has learned that real redemption can only come from speaking the truth.
